Your easiest starting point is probably

  file = format(Sys.time())

and then look at the online help for the strptime function to learn about formatting options.

For example
  format( Sys.time() , '%m%d%y' )

Use paste() and some formatting of Sys.time() to construct the form you are looking for.

I have a function that is called from a "sourced" script, whenever
certain conditions are met.

I have this inside it:  if(P > 0.9)save( file = today() , myLMSmodel );


This gives me files that look like this: Thu Jan  8 14:04:43 2009

That works fine on my Mac, but it would be much more convenient to
have something like this:

LMSMOD_Jan_08_09_1404


Does anyone know how I can do this?

(You don't have to put in the underscores, if it's too much work.)

Thanks,
